So your kid’s birthday is next month and you would like to throw him a fun and amazing party but don’t know what to do. Not to worry! We are here to bring you some nice ideas; for example how about putting together a show? Not sure which one? Follow our advice in this article and you will spend an unforgettable afternoon with your children.
A few days before the date, get the children who will participate together to decide on the content of the show. Planning is essential if you want to make your project a success. Here are some ideas:
1.Magic Show
Between the ages of 6 and 8, all children are crazy about magic and will find it very exciting to present their tricks to a dedicated audience.
The first thing to do is to teach them very simple tricks that they can solve without mistakes. Even with these limitations, you can find tricks that are fun even for adults. Here are 3 magic tricks that never fail and 3 other easy magic tricks that kids as young as 6 years old can do.
It is important to repeat them often so that they can be solved with ease. Children will be enthusiastic about them. Magic is also theater and they will have to learn to create an expectation and to deceive the audience by drawing their attention to the point of interest.
- Invitations
Some particularly magical invitations cannot be missed. You can easily find one for a magic show online and download a pdf and print them out.
- Props
From the complex Harry Potter costume to the simple magic wand … The magic show is put together with a lot or a little. The only thing that cannot be questioned is the quality of the tricks.
2.Guiñol Show
This is a fairly simple option and always works. The first thing to do is to establish a scenario. Let’s not forget that there is no good puppet show without some good sticks. It can be the staging of a very popular story that all children will recognize, a fashion series that everyone knows too, a story about thieves and policemen.
- Props
– Puppet theater: There are several possibilities: place a cloth covering the children’s bodies between the doorposts, cover the dining table with a sheet and make the dolls appear over the edge, place the children behind the sofa…
– Puppets: Children may have some in their toy box. If not, you will have to make them. You can make them with recycled socks and sneakers, or with paper bags on which you paint faces with markers, cut paper, glitter, pieces of fabric…
3.Musical Show
The girls’ favorite show, the opportunity to show off their favorite song on stage. Violeta’s latest, the fashion movie or the hit of the moment. For the little ones, a spoiled song show tends to draw applause from the toughest audience.
- Props
Have the kids sing into a microphone or with background music. Everything will be more appealing. As for costumes, remember that good makeup and hair do wonders.
4.Comedy Show
Some funny jokes told by children are a show in itself. Among these children’s jokes, you will find what you are looking for and you can complement them with funny riddles.
- Props
Clown makeup with or without a red nose will set the tone for the show. You can also improvise a clown costume with clothes to recycle from adults.
- The Rehearsal
They are an integral part of the fun of putting on a show. Plan at least one dress rehearsal and create all the buzz the event deserves.
- The Invitations
Once the date is set, it’s time to get busy with the children’s party invitations. You can mail them, hand deliver them or email them with our free service.
- Before The Show
The last thing you want to do is make the room look festive. Hang up decorated balloons or garlands, place rows of chairs in front of the stage. Make sure everything you’ll need is on hand and ready to go.
